He was a soldier
He always was
He left his city to fight for America
And we fell in love to music
We were just kids
We didn´t have time to be sorry for what we did

[chorus]
And I said hey boy
Whatchya cryin´ for
It´ll be OK in the end
And if this life doesn´t give you the love you expect
There´s always the next

She was a pretty Texas girl
The answer to his prayers
He called me to tell me he´d fallen in love with her
She sang like an angel
Loved like a friend
And she made my soldier believe he could live aain
When she said

[chorus]

So I´ll be a gambler
And He´ll be home free
He´ll marry Texas and I´ll marry melody
So love like my soldier
Fight for what´s true
And smile at the gates ´cause their hate don´t belong to you

[chorus]
